Reaction CH(3)COOH+C(2)H(5)OH to CH(3...

Reaction
`CH_(3)COOH+C_(2)H_(5)OH to CH_(3)COOC_(2)H+H_(2)O` is an illustration of

A

dehydration

B

esterification

C

neutralization

D

dehydrogenation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We know that ,
`CH_(3) COOH + C_(2) H_(5)OH underset(Delta) overset(conc. H_(2)SO_(4)) hArr CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)+H_(2)O`.
Thus in this reaction , an ester `(CH_(3)COOHC_(2)H_(5))` is formed . This process is called esterfication .
